birthday cake/dessert?

Erikalynne18

My birthday is Saturday. Usually I get a slice of chocolate eruption cheesecake from pizza delight and eat 1/2 one day, and 1/2 the next day (it's very rich), but it's 818 calories per slice!! EKKKKK..... I could just say screw it since I order it ONCE a year lol, and it is split between 2 sittings. My other thought was maybe blueberry pie since I LOVE blueberries, but it's February so finding it might be a bit difficult lol.

But anyway, suggestions?

I'd say have your cake! It's only once a year, just eat sensibly for the rest of your meals those days

Why is it always all or nothing (I know I'm that way). It's taken time, but I'm learning that no one ever said I have to eat the whole thing. Take a few bites, pay the bill and leave the restaurant. Problem solved. :drinker:

I vote to just eat it! My birthday is in two weeks, and I am already having cake day dreams... googling cakes, ugh. cake is my ultimate weakness! I plan to eat waaay too much and not feel guilty. I say you should do the same! :flowerforyou:

Happy Birthday fellow aquarian!

Your birthday only comes once a year. Celebrate it! One day doesn't make or break healthy living. It's staying on track to accomodate the splurge.

Go ahead Get the chocolate decadent piece of cake and do what you always do. Eat it over 2 days. Plus, If you get the blueberry pie - you're gonna wish you got the choco cake so the day after or even a few days later you're gonna get a piece of that cake you missed out on. Then you'll be trying to burn off choco cake and blueberry pie

Maybe this year you do a new fitness birthday challenge - do a trailrun on your birthday; run 1/2 mile for every year [12.5 miles you're young you can do it; do 10 sit ups for each year... walk x # stairs... its your birthday and you get to decide.

I think I will do what I do each year and split the cake between 2 or 3 days, making it last longer and not depriving myself of my yearly tradition :happy:

Thanks for all the birthday wishes

Share it with someone instead of eating an entire 800+ cal slice (no matter how many days you eat it over)
